Oh goodness! That sounds like a stressful situation for you! I'm glad you got things sorted for everyone though. I will continue with my spray and if nothing changes, I will take the little madam to the vets.
Ringworm will clear on it's own in 3-4 months, but will continue to be contagious until cleared. I definitely see a circular patch on the second picture you posted. Watch for dry patches on yourself too, mine never looked "round", they were tiny dry spots that itched so bad I dug them open in my sleep!
She is, however recently I've noticed her mounting the drakes and another hen in the water! Apparently it's just a dominance thing, but I still found it odd. I do intervene when I catch any of my drakes grabbing at her or trying to mate with her, however they probably do it when I'm not around
Oh dear... Again, I'll keep using the spray but I will also check myself and my partner over, just in case. I guess I will have to separate her from the flock too... Ringworm won't kill her though, right? She'll be okay?
I don't really see my boys mating, but when I do I intervene. Would separating them help? Is there anything I can do to prevent it from worsening?
What is your male to female ratio since you say "boys"?
I'd assume not? I'm only familiar with it in humans, dogs, and cats, but did discuss it in chickens with my vet (we were between flocks and I wanted to make sure it wouldn't harm chicks if/when we got them). It's a fungal infection, so anything that works to clear fungus can help, I used tea tree oil soap on myself and got chorlhexidine wipes/foam/cream for the pets.
If you have more drakes than females this could be your problem, Many times when one drake is on top another will be pulling feathers around the face. Or the one mating will be grabbing hold of feathers while holding on. Many of us use drake jail to give our females a break during the worst of breeding season.
